inappropriate responses.
Oct. 11th, 2007 10:48 pmYou know, I do not always have the appropriate responses. I finally got around to watching Super Size Me a few months ago. It was supposed to make me feel shocked and appalled. You know what it did? I t made me hungry. For McDonald's. Oh, I was shocked and appalled, but not enough to put a ban on a cheeseburger with pickles only. I don't know why I am even thinking about this right now. Or admitting it.
M has some moles that we want to have checked out. Do I just find a random dermatologist in the phone book and call him/her up and schedule an appointment? Oddly, I've never been to a dermatologist so I don't know the protocol there. I should have been ten times over with my various skin ailments but I haven't. I do know that our general practitioners do not engage in that sort of thing--they told him to "go have it checked" but he didn't ask them who would do that. Thoughts?
My child will be five months old tomorrow. I sent out the first four birth announcements today. Gaah. I'm only sending a handful of them. I'm sending one to Dr. Optimism, though. I think I may add a little thank you note in that one. :) Even when she whines all flipping day long (like today) or when she has a bathroom incident where the word "splashed" and "wall" came into the conversation, I am so, so happy that she's here. Speaking of that bathroom incident, earlier I learned what parenthood is, really. It is hand-washing the very worst part of the fecal matter out of your child's garment to avoid stains, and while doing so, you catch yourself thinking "boy, I sure am glad she was able to get that out of her belly, maybe she'll feel better now" and not "ack ack ack ack ack burn it". Like I said--I do not always have the appropriate responses in a situation.
Life is different, these days. :)
